SSPI with VCB - SSP? posted: Oct 11, 2008 6:30 PM

What SSP (security support provider - i.e. Kerberos, NTLM, etc.) does VCB 1.5 use when configured for SSPI authentication?

From Microsoft:

"When an application calls into SSPI to log on to a network, it can specify an SSP to process the request. If the application specifies Negotiate, Negotiate analyzes the request and selects the best SSP to handle the request based on the configured security policy."

Thank You,

Greg

It negotiates for the most appropriate. For VI authentication there is a way to change the config to automatically default to Kerberos, but for VCB, I don't think you can change it.

IT will try them all until one satisfies the query, but not sure of the order. I think Kerberos is the most common, so it may be the first attempt.
